Warren wants 'an America where when people like the Sacklers destroy millions of lives to make money, they don’t get museum wings named after them, they go to jail.'

In a Wednesday proposal to end the opioid crisis, the presidential candidate advocated the federal government spend $100 billion over 10 years to combat the opioid crisis, which has caused the deaths of an average, 130 Americans each day.

"Under my opioid plan, billionaires like the Sacklers wouldn’t get to live the high life while only 1 out of 5 folks who need opioid treatment get the help they need. Instead, they would pay up to help make sure every person gets the care they need," she said in the Medium post announcing her proposal.

Black moms are dying at higher rates, 2 presidential candidates focus on curbing thatSen. Kamala Harris and Sen. Elizabeth Warren are highlighting the disproportionately high rates of pregnancy-related deaths among black women — an issue health care providers and lawmakers increasingly are flagging as a crisis. Gun violence in cities controlled by Dems for decades, mostly impacting impoverished people of color is a greater crisis impacting minorities. But Dems have no solutions. Neither candidate is going to win the nomination. I wish them well in trying to tackle the problem, but I find it curious is that what is promised during the campaign, never comes to reality once elected.
